I keep coming back around to this little piece of writing, a quote from bell hooks, and so here I am again:
"There are some folks for whom openness is not about the luxury of "will I choose to share this or that," but rather "will I survive -- will I stay alive?" and openness is about how to be well and telling the truth is about how to put the broken bits & pieces of the heart back together again. It is about being whole, being wholehearted."

Note on filters: Most of what I write is locked-and-filtered. If you're interested in reading, just poke in, say hello, and let me know.
